Re: GAME 5: Sacramento Kings vs. Seattle SuperSonics 5-03-05 7:30 PM
Nice lookin' game thread. You guys really got it going well over here in the Kings forum.
In a little over 24 hours, I will be getting ready to head to Key Arena for Game 5. The way this series is going, anything could happen tomorrow night, but I am hoping (of course) for a Sonics win at home. I have no desire whatsoever to return to Arco Arena again - been ther, done that.
Whoever wins this game is going to have to earn it - neither team is going to waltz away with the win. I expect that defense is going to play a major roll in this game as well. Yes, the Sonics have a 3-1 lead, but the Kings have alot more playoff experience, though not as much as they did before trading CWebb and Doug Christie.
I am pulling for a well-played, hard fought injury-free game. See you all tomorrow.

I demand that Evans is put into this game for big minutes, to play Ray, help rebound, and not force a thousand shots and commit a thousand TO's like Cuttino would.

Kings playoffs notes: The Kings will win if...
Quote:
• They make Ray Allen really work for his shots. He scored 45 points and hardly broke a sweat in Game 4.
• Mike Bibby and Bobby Jackson come to play.
• Peja Stojakovic plays like this means something. Haven't we heard this before? Peja's time is now, including the fourth quarter.
Key stat: 5.8 assists per game by Bibby. No other King is averaging more than 2.3.
|
The Sonics will win if...
Quote:
• Rashard Lewis remains active. He had his best showing in Game 4, hitting shots and snapping the rim.
• Jerome James doesn't forget he's Jerome James. It isn't a fluke now.
• The home crowd gets into it early and often. Key- Arena is ready to burst, sensing blood in the water.
Key stat: 18.8 points per game for Jerome James in this series. Who would have ever imagined?

Kings notes: Hitting 40 is beautiful - for Kings opponents
Quote:
Every so often, a Kings opponent feels it, then he really feeds the bucket.
Seattle's Ray Allen was the latest to blister the Kings in a playoff game, becoming the fifth player to go for 40 or more points when he tallied 45 at Arco Arena on Sunday.
Shaquille O'Neal pulled the 40-plus feat four times.
The 48 that Kobe Bryant scored for the Lakers in a semifinal game in 2001 is the most yielded by the Kings, with the 46 O'Neal had in a 2000 first-round affair second and Allen's effort ranking third.
Sam Cassell scored 40 for Minnesota in the 2004 playoffs, and Nick Van Exel scored 40 for Dallas in the 2003 playoffs.
All told, the Kings are 1-7 in contests in which someone score 40 or more points against them. And the Kings lost every one of those series.
Was Allen as good as Rick Adelman has seen in all of his playoff battles?
"There's no doubt," the Kings' coach said. "The only one I can think that was as good was (Michael) Jordan in the Finals."

Allen, Peja: Bright stars worlds apart
Quote:
SEATTLE - Their names are a part of the same discussion.
Ray Allen and Peja Stojakovic - sharpest shooters in the world.
So close in one category, yet so far in every other.
When it comes to lasting legacies, the Seattle gunner went shooting by the Kings' marksman Sunday night, Allen's 45-point outing winning Game 4 for the SuperSonics while tying a franchise playoff high.
Meanwhile, Stojakovic, whose 21-point first half showed why so many believe he can be great, disappeared in the second half, scoring just six points as his list of playoff failures grew longer.
Reputations can be bred and broken in the postseason, something both players are learning in opposite ways.
"We judge our players whether or not they've won rings, how they compare to other greats that have played the game," Allen said Monday. "The playoffs is where you make your legacy, cement your impact on the game. ... Peja's won three-point contests, played in playoffs, in big playoff games ... "
|
What I don't like about this article is they're saying that Peja "disappeared in the second half, which is not true. He was there the whole time, just didn't get the freaking ball.
